The carriage stopped in the garden. When the lamp was lit up, the inside of the carriage brightened up. Lilia stared at Karhan, who was sitting opposite her.

“I want to hear more details.

At Lilia’s words, Karhan hesitated for a moment. After thinking about where to start, he opened his mouth.

“So, my family…… It was a perfect family without me.”

Karhan began to tell his family affairs calmly. His father, the Duke, was always busy and had no interest in the family. There were only a handful of times he had seen his face properly.

Rebecca, the Duchess, hated Karhan, whom she gave birth to from her belly. Of course, it wasn’t like that from the beginning. When he was very young, he used to fall asleep in his mother’s arms.

As time went by, his mother’s warm eyes turned into disappointment, and later became as cold as ice. Then one day, she became completely hostile to Karhan.

“…….I thought my mother was disappointed because lacked a lot.”

He constantly tried to be loved by his mother as before. But she kept going against him. She lives in the

same space, but her heart grows farther and farther away.

As a child, Karhan was sad and wrote a letter with sincerity.

If I’ve done something wrong, I’ll fix it, and I’ll try harder, so please love me like you used to.

Karhan waited for his mother’s reaction. It’s okay to scold him for being arrogant, but he wanted to know why she kept him away but the answer never came back.

Karhan went into his mother’s room, wondering if the letter had been delivered properly, and found his letter in the trash can. Shocked, Karhan looked at the trash can and returned to his room. That day, Karhan let go of the relationship he was forcibly holding on to

“It was the same with my brother.”

Karhan calmly continued to talk. The eldest son, Blair, began to be wary of Karhan at some point. The increasingly high level of criticism undermined Karhan’s self-esteem. He fully monopolized his mother’s attention and sympathized with her who discriminated against his younger brother.

Since then, Karhan has been the ghost of the duchy. As all the family members rejected Karhan, the employees naturally ignored him.

“So I half volunteered to participate in the battlefield.”

Karhan fled to the battlefield without any support. He was nothing more than an abandoned child, so he did not directly reveal the name Evantheon.

So people around him thought Karhan was a commoner. Later, when he made an appearance at the ball and met Tession, it was revealed that he was the second son of the Duke of Evantheon.

Lilia’s face darkened after hearing all of Karhan’s stories. It was more serious than she had imagined. Since he had been suffering since he was so young, Karhan didn’t even know it was abuse. It was heartbreaking to imagine young Karhan driven to the corner and eventually choosing the battlefield,

Lilia recalled Karhan, whom she had met for the first time. She thought he was a pushover when she saw him being robbed and swayed by a clerk. However, he was in an environment where he had no choice but to do so.

Now she can see why Karhan, the successor of the Duke’s family, had a terrible reputation. It was clear that they intended on igniting a bad rumor and using it to catch fire and get rid of him with ease.

Lilia clenched her fist. When she thought of the Duchess who smiled kindly at her, she felt like she was going to get upset. She thought it was weird to give so much hospitality…. It was because the Duchess was going to sell Karhan at a high price for her eldest son.

“Lilia?”

When Lilia remained silent for a long time, Karhan called carefully. When he noticed, Lilia picked up the cushion she had put in the corner and ripped it. Her stomach was boiling, but there was no way to relieve it. She couldn’t even run to the Duchy right away and turn it upside down.

Lilia breathed heavily after completely crushing the cushion. She turned to Karhan, who looked at her with bewildered eyes.

“I am angry. But we can’t get back at your family like this.”

Lilia threw away the ripped cushion at random. Apart from being angry, the situation was worse than she imagined.

“You didn’t get any support or education from your family, did you?”

“… That’s right.” (He didn’t)

“How have you been living so far?”

It was impossible to live in the capital without financial support.

No way… Did he go around cleaning dishes without me knowing?

“I was receiving a small amount of money for maintaining my dignity from my family, and I was living on the money I had collected from the battlefield.”

“Do you have any money saved up?”

After wandering around the battlefield for a long time Karhan saved more money than he thought. At first, he was deprived of a lot of credit by his superiors, but after meeting Tession, he was well taken care of.

He didn’t have much money to spend, so he put it all in the bank and forgot, and the accumulated interest was considerable. Thanks to this, he raised enough money that he was lacking anywhere. Karhan said with confidence.

“I’m sure there’s about a million kroel.”

“What a waste.”

Karhan closed his mouth sullenly. Not seeing it, Lilia clicked her tongue. If it was a million kroel, one couldn’t buy a single building in the downtown area. It

seemed that he had been very frugal to endure it so far with that money.

“I think we should make a simple plan. Do you have any specialties?”

Karhan hesitated. He replied after a long time, as if he couldn’t think of anything to boast as a specialty

……I can make a fire with stones in thirty seconds, and I can find my way with constellations.”

It was all dismissed.

“What about swordsmanship?”

“I didn’t learn swordsmanship separately…….”
